Lelit is the counterpoint to that - I have a Lelit Elizabeth which, while expensive, is a fraction of what a Decent costs - So I’m not sure “don’t use boilers” pans out.
Yep, even the Lelit Bianca which is a dual-boiler and has both flow control and a pressure knob is still cheaper than the cheapest Decent despite the much more robust build.
Another vote for Lelit, I have an Anna PL41TEM with the PID controller, have made 2-3 perfect espressos every day, 7 days a week, since 2017 like clockwork.
That's >4,000 shots and counting... A very solid piece of kit.
